It’s not the blue emitting light that causes eyestrain on OLEDs, it’s the low frequency pwm used to control brightness. Basically all the pixels turn on and off a few hundred times a second, not slow enough for your brain to consciously notice it, but fast enough for your eyes to react to what is in effect a strobelight right in front of your face. That is how dimming works on an OLED.

You end up with devices that still cause headaches and dizziness because they flicker in this manner, but are “eyesafe certified” because they filter out the blue light right before bed.

Suckless on OpenBSD.

You might also try one of the alternate operating systems like Haiku or ReactOS. Haiku is very lightweight and supports both Qt and some Wine-based apps. Maybe K-Meleon on Haiku works for your system.

cwm on OpenBSD is going to fly.

It’s still a good phone. But if you can wait, Fairphone 5 will be out in September; this new partnership means it should be available in the US, with five year warranty, shortly thereafter.

I use Thunderbird, but I absolutely despise the tabbed interface for everything. It used to be optional; then you could restore the old interface with an extension; now even that has been removed. I should just uninstall it at this point and find something different, especially given that my filters and rules are handled at the server level now.

In the past, I liked Eudora the best.

I owned a OnePlus One. Solid phone for the time. Sandstone back and degoogled CyanogenMod.

I got my wife the OnePlus X. Their first attempt at a premium phone. Buggy piece of shit crashed all the time. Google Keep would crash. Chrome would crash. This was reported by everyone, and instead of a fix, it was completely dropped by OnePlus after four months. Like, no updates or anything, because of an outdated chipset. No security patches or anything. Just pretend it never happened, sorry for your money. I sold both phones and went to iPhone.

OnePlus, the supposed best Android phone, sent me to Apple for like a half decade after that. And this was pretty early on in their game, like 2016 or so. I missed out on everything up until now, I have no point of reference on upside down displays and ColorOS vs OxygenOS or whatever. I’ve never been screwed over by trading in a phone to OnePlus and have them come back and take half the value back due to OLED burn-in, because I got away from OnePlus before any of this was even a thing.

Years later, I ended up back on Android and lo and behold, I have a OnePlus phone as a backup. Nord N300 5g or something like that. It came out a few weeks ago but I got it a little earlier than that due to some TikTok thing. It was cheap, it has a good camera, an LCD screen and Android 13. I like the OS better than stock Android (Nokia X20, XR20, Pixel 7 and FairPhone 4 for comparison). I know exactly what I have and I don’t expect much from it, so it is kind of not bad to use. Updates are decent, I’m on a May security patch. The software and overall experience is better than any of the recent Nokia’s I’ve owned (pure trash brand, don’t get me started).

So at the low end, it’s not a bad proposition. Really nothing bad to say about the new phone. It does what I need, has an SD card and 3.5mm jack and an LCD panel. Caveat this: I am not a premium phone user anymore (the last maxed out spec phone I got was a red iPhone 8+ in 2018), so I can’t compare OP11 or OP12 or whatever and won’t get anything with an OLED screen if I don’t have to.

Yeah, I use Jerboa, it’s been great.

For those developers who remain committed to Reddit only, competing against the house isn’t viable, you can’t win. The rules will change again.

Missed opportunity. These third-party apps could have updated on 1 July to support Lemmy only. Instead, they wish to continue the abusive relationship with Reddit while making believe that it’s the only option.

I wish they would support their software updates more frequently and for longer.

Feature updates for at least 3 years, security updates for 5.

I’ve avoided them for their lack of update policy.
